Townsville City

Patrolled year-round and fringed by the iconic Strand promenade, this vibrant family-friendly beach offers calm, clear waters perfect for young swimmers and snorkellers exploring nearby coral gardens. The stinger-resistant enclosures running the full length of the beach make it Queensland's safest swimming spot during jellyfish season, while the adjacent parklands provide playgrounds, cafes, and stunning views across to Magnetic Island.
